REFERRER isn't just for search engines. It's whatever page they were last on.

Thank you guys for the prompt reply, but either application server will do the job, which I haven't tried yet, or my question has misleaded you. I have tried to use CGI variables, but the SERVER_NAME and the HTTP_HOST they both contain the www.finalsite.com when aither url is entered. I need to know a way when the user gets to index.cfm, capture the URL they typed after they hit the ENTER key. The HTTP_REFERER contains information only when the request is coming from a search engine, after that HTTP_REFERER is empty. So in summary: - User types either site www.abc.com or www.xyz.com - index.cfm has the logic to check what the user has typed to get there - redirect happens to www.finalsite.com Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
